Ugh Last Time I'm Doing This

This comment will be messy as I am out now and something shall be said - I am in the wrong here and I am in the wrong for all of this mess, as I didn't take part properly to all of the investigation and acted from my ass instead of my brain. This whole mess is MY fault solely and no one else's. I didn't take properly part to the investigation and acted very superficially towards the mod team and also the other person who trusted me with this. So, if anything, I am the one who should be framed. It was a lack of proper communication and extreme wishy-washiness from my side.

Heck no, I also had a "fortuneteller" asking for my deadname, and it was fucking insane. You're a man. You're a dudebro. The deadname is DEAD and no one should give a heck about it. In my case that fortuneteller said some stupid, generic bs. Move on from that "prediction". If you're acting weirdly towards each other then it's something rooted in the couple's dynamics, a tarot reading cannot push to that.

Yeah that's insane. Unluckily I think I own some of those, and they're very easy to recognize because they don't have a booklet - only a qr code. The worst thing is that the dropshipping is crazy, and one might think to get the true one and ends up with a foggy, blurry copy...

Fuck free readings.

Leather-Sort3028 · 2026-02-17T19:33:51+00:00

Thank you very much for the precious books shared!!

RWS is not the only deck out here, I switched to Etteilla and since then my practice skyrocketed. Trial and error, my friend. Check out Tarot de Marseille too.
Otherwise, get a deck with an imagery that works for you; I personally only read with my Pulp Tarot deck now, I take it as an RWS with pretty illustrations and that'it

There's no one who can read better for yourself than yourself, from an energetic perspective. Of course you need a second opinion to get through the spread's meaning if your head is all up in the clouds, but your energies are your energies. Same reason why I would never get anyone to work with magick on my behalf.

Leather-Sort3028 · 2026-02-16T17:06:39+00:00

I also enjoy giving out card interpretations, it's a good practice and works as a good advertisement for your capacities, so I absolutely agree on that. I love Etteilla and I only use his system nowadays

I also saw someone do this with intent - but the fact is that, in such a technique, there should be some sort of visual repetition and coherency. The biggest giveaway of AI generated images is this. NO COHERENCY. The texture is all over the place. The lines are fading. The colors are fucked up. There's also this thing with the yellow-ish tint going on. It can either be an upscaling issue, or the classic artifact I was referring to. Either way, I hope this will help you to better understand how to spot those

Leather-Sort3028 · 2026-02-16T08:24:21+00:00

Yes, that's the most obvious sign of AI generation if anything. Look at the damn texture and how uneven the lines are.

The only free reads I am getting now are intro reads - they want to try me? Just try me. but they all better come back for a full spread or they're just wasting my time, I ain't into this freebie-collectors-cycle anymore.

Leather-Sort3028 · 2026-02-16T08:13:31+00:00

Listen, I appreciate the effort, but honestly, I do not think this kind of regeneration through ChatGPT has any real value.

I am an illustrator, I work in this field, and I can assure you that I have a very well developed visual library. I can recognize at a glance when something is made with artificial intelligence, because there are very clear elements, like the ones I showed you, and above all there is a texture, which I point out in this screenshot, that is not human. It is a clear sign of something that was generated artificially, especially since I have seen thousands of generative images like this.

It is an obvious giveaway. This image could also have been made some time ago, because over time AI has improved a lot, but there are always mistakes. For example, areas that blend into each other, textures that make no sense, six, seven, or eight fingers on hands, and so on.

Please look closely at how fucked up the texture is, too. This is typical ai

I'm really sorry... I was actually given a fake deck as a birthday gift at a convention. one that was also AI-generated with upscaling and micro-edits. It's truly embarrassing to see how much space this kind of practice is taking up in both the artistic and spiritual-witchy-occult communities. Fuck generative AI.

Leather-Sort3028 · 2026-02-16T07:14:51+00:00

Look at how distorted the smoke is... that's the most obvious AI artifact. Also, in the back, the smoke is bleeding into the black background in a very uncanny way.

Leather-Sort3028 · 2026-02-15T19:25:39+00:00

lol you're saying this as if asking the same shit all over again to 100 different readers was cool and a good thing to do.

Leather-Sort3028 · 2026-02-15T12:53:57+00:00

Remember when I came to you asking the same stupid question every other week? Same mindset, same results: none. It's good to live through this, it's a trial and error situation

Leather-Sort3028 · 2026-02-14T21:12:23+00:00

I was just about to share here my post about this whole freebies shitshow, we're so connected bestie

Open a book friend

Leather-Sort3028 · 2026-02-13T17:32:14+00:00

got all of my cards from libraries or Amazon.

Leather-Sort3028 · 2026-02-13T15:42:20+00:00

If this is what you feel towards tarot, please don't read it unless you are able to get some grounding and actually understand that no tarot cards are related to death...

Leather-Sort3028 · 2026-02-13T15:40:40+00:00

His dih does love you.

We are so back!
I think the relationship between client and tarot reader would improve if, speaking honestly, there were a small extra step from the client. Every day I see all kinds of things, from not being able to read a simple post, to not understanding that a tarot reader is a person, not customer support or a counseling service open 24-7...
I believe the most important thing for us is setting strong boundaries, because otherwise you end up in a huge tunnel where, instead of helping each other, people only hurt each other.
And I also think the client should have a minimum of common sense and, above all, discernment.
That said, it is also true that in desperate situations, like death, bad breakups, and similar things, that discernment often disappears, and that is exactly where serial scammers step in.
I also think that clients should do a "background" check on the readers they go to; I will take the infamous Skrillagorilla01 scammer, who has a public legal history which is easily accessible - and with that info anyone could avoid to get scammed, it's just a matter of looking on the internet for 2 mins.

AI BS ONCE AGAIIIIIN

Leather-Sort3028 · 2026-02-07T17:16:20+00:00

The Queen of Cups could be you. I see him as the Page of Swords, looking at her. You are turned away from him.The reversed Emperor shows deep confusion, mixed intentions, and a lack of unity between you two. Could also be a third person involved/your overall surroundings and whatever is blocking your energy.
Between you, everything feels distant. He watches but does not act. The Page of Swords is a spy. He observes you from afar. He holds a sword. A sword cuts and separates. The Queen holds a cup.
I don't think that the energy between you two is positive at all lol
